In the following situations, the RSA syst em will notify the driver.
● When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed notification threshold of
the speed limit sign displayed, the sign display will be emphas ized
and a buzzer will sound.
● When the RSA system recognizes a do not enter sign and deter-
mines that your vehicle has ent ered a no-entry area, the displayed
sign will flash and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, a not ification function may not operate
properly.
■ Setting procedure
Press / of the meter control switches, select .
Press / of the meter control switches, select .

In the following situations, a displayed speed limit sign and/o r do not enter
sign will stop being displayed automatically:
● No sign has been recognized for a certain distance.
● The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc.
In the following situations, stop and yield signs will stop bei ng displayed auto-
matically:

■Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this do es not indicate a
malfunction.

● The contrast of electronic sign is low.
● All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
● The sign is only visible to the front camera for a short amount of time.
● The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorr ectly.
● If a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, but the sign exists
directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before merging.
● Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
● A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
● Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positio ned in sight
of the front camera) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
● Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front camera) while traveling on a round about.
● The front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carrie d load.
● The surrounding brightness is not sufficient or changes suddenly.
● When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is recognized.
● The navigation system map data is outdated.
● The navigation system is not operating.
● The speed information displayed on the meter and on the navigation system
may be different due to the navigation system using map data.
■ Speed limit sign display
If the power switch was last turned off while a speed limit sign was displayed
on the multi-information display, the same sign displays again when the
power switch is turned to ON.

Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current veh icle-
to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suita ble fol-
lowing distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to- vehi-
cle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicl e
distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may
become shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration crui sing and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle s peed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at
this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate su ffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is
stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the
“+ RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off o peration) will
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not pe rformed, sys-
tem control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.

stopped by system control in vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode)
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Press the switch.
Large adjustment: Press and hold
the switch to change the speed,
and release when the desired
speed is reached.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the set speed will be

■Automatic cancelation of c onstant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
● Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h ) below
the set vehicle speed.
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) .
● VSC is activated.

tem operates. (For example: Pre -Collision System, Drive-Start Control)
If constant speed control mode is automatically canceled for any reasons
other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your
Toyota dealer.
■ Situations in which the curve speed reduction function may not operate
In situations such as the following, the curve speed reduction function may
not operate:
● When the vehicle is being driven around a gentle curve
● When the accelerator pedal is being depressed
● When the vehicle is being driven around an extremely short curve
■ Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■ Warning messages and buzzers for d ynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information display, read the message and follow the
instructions. ( P. 244, 488)
